Self-morphing 4D-printed programmable culture substrate for controlling neural stem cell growth
­Neural stem cells (NSCs) exhibit great promise for treating neurodegenerative diseases and injuries. Treatments will rely on efficient proliferation and differentiation of NSCs into neurons with therapeutic characteristics. Static 2D and 3D microenvironment culture substrates fail to cater to the dynamic cell needs, resulting in sub-optimal, inefficient...

3D Shape Memory Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
Over 120,000 patients are currently waiting for lifesaving organ and tissue transplants. Tissue engineering has the potential to innovate transplant and minimally invasive surgery by creating tissue substitutes from biopolymers with human stem cells. GW researchers developed a plant oil infused biopolymer with unique characteristics that are highly...
